It was a wonderful place to grow up! Almost ALL of the museums were FREE, so was the Central Park Zoo, shopping for anything you might need or desire was there, the public schools were THE best in the nation, all of the arts and music were there, and on and on and on.
Now it is all gone! :-(
NYC was once a more or less SAFE place and VERY magical!
San Francisco was once a SAFE place and VERY magical!
